I think you need to decide what the subject is. I'm a bit confused as to what you want it to be.

a) the M&Ms-in which case the guy looks shopped and extraneous
or
b) the guy-in which case he still doesn't fit with the way you've focused

To selectively color the M&Ms implies to me that they are the subject, but the inclusion of the seller(?) is confusing.

As an exercise of selective color it's great. As anything else it kind of loses it's way.
 
Some excellent points. BTW. He aint a seller. He is joe public who annoyingly walked into my shot.
 
Like the composition, the dude at the back not looking at the camera and the peeping skellington. And the guitar necks complement the woowork pretty well.
 
I know some aren't too keen on selective colour, but it occurred to me I could mimic the red-white colours of the Polish flag using this scene from Gdansk (though I then ended up restoring the colour to three pedestrians to lend an additional focal point to the photo).

What do you think?

I like it.
 
Thanks! I am pleased I have pleased. I did try another version where I did the B&W conversion using a digital red filter, which turned the blue of the sky much darker and made the clouds stand out (and because I restored the reds with a layer the red points stayed as above), but it kept giving the building an odd light-grey outline so in the end I gave up.

I like this photo

I'm still not sure about this. I like it, but I can't say why. I also feel it's missing something but can't say what. Sorry, bit useless.
 
It could be less cropped. All of the guy on the left's head should be in the shot, and the shoulder of the guy on the right.
You're right... Need a wider lens for that to be possible though. Or stitch 2 photos together. Not difficult but I didn't think of it at the time
 
hi, I know it's nothing special, but I was proud of myself for figuring out I could get a better pic of the sunset if I switched over to the manual setting. Think it's the first time I ever used it. :oops:

Went to a local lavender field at the weekend.The place was full of people with frilly bonnets and parasols prancing about. Rebelled a bit and came up with this.

I like it, though if you had it all to do over again I might take a wider shot and maybe re-order the legs so the biggest are in the middle.
